ALEXANDER  (John  W.). 

Born  near  Pittsburg,  and  early  showed  great  aptitude  for 
drawing.  He  studied  in  Munich  and  in  Venice  with  Duve- 
neck,  going  later  to  Paris,  where  he  now  spends  about  half  the 
year.  He  was  made  a  Member  of  the  Societe  Nationale  in 
Paris  in  1894.  Beside  a  large  number  of  portraits  and  not 
a  few  "  fantaisies,"  his  work  includes  six  decorative  panels 
for  the  Congressional  Library  at  Washington.  His  studio  is 
in  New  York.

AMES  (Joseph).    18 16-1872. 

He  was  born  in  New  Hampshire,  and  had  already  a  fair  repu- 
tation for  portrait  painting  in  his  own  State  before  he  opened 
his  studio  in  Boston.  Going  to  Rome,  he  studied  the  higher 
branches  of  his  art,  and  painted  a  life-size  portrait  of  Pope 
Pius  IX.,  which  was  greatly  admired.  "  His  specialty  was 
portrait  painting,  and  not  a  few  of  his  many  works  were  of 
rare  excellence  for  vigor,  naturalness,  and  grace."  He  was 
made  a  Member  of  the  National  Academy  in  New  York 
in  1870.

BELLINI  (Giovanni).  1426-1516. 

Bellini  was  the  true  head  of  the  Venetian  School  of  Painting. 
"He  was  endowed  with  profound  and  grandly  balanced  feel- 
ing, the  expression  of  which  appeals  to  large  and  noble  sym- 

[3] 


pathies."  It  was  in  the  works  of  Giovanni  Bellini  that 
Venetian  coloring  attained,  if  not  its  highest  truth  of  nature, 
at  all  events  its  greatest  intensity  and  transparency.  He  at- 
tracted a  large  number  of  followers,  and  the  brightest  glories 
of  Venetian  art  rose  from  his  atelier.  The  Virgin  and  Child 
were  his  constant  theme.

BENSON  (Frank  W.). 

Born  at  Salem,  Mass.,  and  studied  with  Boulanger  and  Le- 
febvre  in  Paris.  He  has  taken  medals  and  prizes  at  the 
World's  Fair,  Chicago,  1893,  at  the  National  Academy  in 
New  York,  at  the  Boston  Art  Club,  etc.  He  is  an  Associate 
Member  of  the  National  Academy,  New  York,  and  one  of 
the  "  Ten  American  Painters."  Mr.  Benson  is  instructor  at 
the  School  of  the  Museum  of  Fine  Arts,  Boston.

BLACKBURN  (Jonathan  B.).

burn was  a  portrait  painter,  and  worked  in  Boston. 

A66     Portrait  of  Mrs.  Lydia  Hancock. 
Lent  by  Mrs.  L.  B.  Taft. 

BOLDINI  (Giuseppe). 

Born  at  Ferrara,  Italy,  and  later  settled  in  Paris,  where 
he  has  his  studio.  Without  being  a  slavish  follower  of  his 
friend  Fortuny,  he  has  grafted  some  of  the  spirit  of  the  Span- 
ish school  upon  his  native  Italian  sympathies.  "  Boldini's 
painting  of  sunshine  and  of  daylight  is  triumphant.  Great 
breadth  of  light,  delicious  purity  of  tint,  .  .  .  these  are  the 
qualities  in  which  he  excels/'

BOUCHER  (Francois).  1703-1770. 

Born  at  Paris,  and  studied  under  Lemoine.  He  won  the 
Prix  de  Rome  in  1723,  was  admitted  to  the  Academie  in 
1754,  and  appointed  to  be  court  painter  in  1765.  Boucher 
painted  an  infinite  number  of  pastoral  and  idyllic  subjects, 
some  of  which  were  intended  for  reproduction  in  the  Gobelin 
tapestries.

CALIGA  (I.  H.). 

He  was  born  in  Auburn,  Ind.,  and  studied  in  Munich.  He 
is  a  Member  of  the  National  Academy  in  New  York,  the 
Pennsylvania  Academy  of  Eine  Arts,  the  Art  Institute  in 
Chicago,  and  the  Boston  Art  Club.    Studio  in  Boston.

CASSATT  (Mary). 

Was  born  in  Pennsylvania,  and  has  spent  much  of  her  life  in 
Europe.  She  studied  in  Paris  under  Soyer  and  C.  Bellay, 
and  has  also  studied  and  sketched  in  Spain,  and  has  been  a 
frequent  exhibitor  at  the  Salon  in  Paris  and  at  the  National 
Academy  in  New  York.  "  It  would  seem  that  she  has  found 
her  true  bent  in  her  recent  pictures  of  children,  and  in  the 
delineation  of  maternity, .  . .  which  she  has  portrayed  with  deli- 

[5] 


cacy,  refinement,  and  sentiment.  .  .  .  Her  color  has  all  the 
tenderness  and  charm  that  accompanies  so  engaging  a  motif." 

A54     Apres  le  Bain. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Durand-Ruel. 

CHAPLIN  (Charles). 

Born  at  Les  Audelys,  France,  in  1825.  His  father  was  Eng- 
lish, and  his  mother  French,  "  but  by  life,  love,  and  all  that 
makes  the  man,  he  is  French,  and  French  only."  He  studied 
at  the  Beaux- Arts  and  with  Drolling,  and  is  a  Chevalier  of  the 
Legion  of  Honor.  In  1 8  5 1  he  exhibited  a  portrait  of  his  sister 
which  won  a  medal,  and  has  also  done  many  decorative  works 
at  the  Tuileries,  etc.  His  portraits  are  much  sought  after. 
"  Without  copying  Watteau,  or  any  one  style,  without  re- 
course to  the  types  or  costumes  of  another  time,  he  has 
positively  invented  a  genre  of  new,  elegant,  rich  decoration. 
.  .  .  This  fresh  and  laughing  painting  is  truly  a  charm  to  the 
eyes."

CHASE  (Adelaide  Cole). 

A  portrait  painter  and  the  daughter  of  J.  Foxcroft  Cole, 
the  well-known  landscape  painter.  She  was  born  in  Boston5 
where  her  studio  now  is.  "  Her  portraits  show  brilliancy  of 
color  and  great  boldness  of  brush." 

A20     Portrait  of  Mrs.  Herbert  D.  Hale. 

Lent  by  Mrs.  William  C.  Chase. 

CHASE  (William  Merritt). 

Born  in  Indiana  in  1849,  and  there  began  the  study  of 
art,  which  he  carried  on  later  at  the  National  Academy  in 
New  York  under  J.  O.  Eaton.  In  1872  he  went  to  Munich, 
where  he  became  a  pupil  of  Wagner,  Piloty,  and  others,  and 

[6] 


gained  three  medals  at  the  Royal  Academy  of  Munich.  He 
has  also  taken  medals  at  the  Exhibitions  of  Paris,  Philadel- 
phia, and  Chicago,  and  was  one  of  the  earliest  exhibitors  at 
the  Society  of  American  Artists.  His  technique  is  masterly, 
and  he  ranks  among  the  most  progressive  and  original  of 
American  painters.    His  studio  is  in  New  York.

COLLIN  (Raphael). 

Born  at  Paris,  and  was  a  pupil  of  Cabanel.  He  received  a 
Medal  of  the  2nd  class  at  the  Salon  of  1883,  and  the  Legion 
of  Honor  in  1884.    Hors  Concours.

CONSTANT  (Benjamin). 

Born  in  Paris  in  1845.  He  was  a  pupil  of  Cabanel,  and 
a  frequent  exhibitor  at  the  Salon.  His  "  Hamlet,"  which  was 
exhibited  in  1869,  was  bought  by  the  French  government. 
Much  of  his  later  work  was  inspired  by  visits  to  Spain  and 
Morocco,  where  he  lived  for  many  years.

Lent  by  Mr.  Jordan. 

COPLEY  (John  Singleton),  R.A.     1737-18 15. 

Born  in  Boston.  u  He  was  the  only  painter  of  real  skill 
which  the  New  World  could  boast  prior  to  the  Revolution, 

[7] 


and  he  seems  to  have  followed  his  art  with  signal  pride  and 
assiduity."  It  is  evident  that  he  obtained  what  knowledge  he 
had  of  art,  under  great  discouragement,  and  indeed,  his  son 
Lord  Lyndhurst  declared  that  his  father  had  never  seen 
a  good  picture  until  he  was  thirty.  At  this  age,  however,  his 
reputation  as  a  portrait  painter  was  already  established  on 
both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  and  when  he  moved  to  London,  in 
1776,  he  soon  received  a  large  income  from  his  work,  and  was 
made  a  member  of  the  Royal  Academy.  Copley's  work  is 
characterized  by  refinement  and  dignity,  as  well  as  conven- 
tional propriety.  The  hardness  of  the  outlines  .  .  .  "corre- 
sponds exactly  with  the  spirit  of  those  times."  "  Like  all 
genuine  portrait  painters,  Copley  unconsciously  embodied 
the  peculiarities  of  his  age."

after  Copley's  arrival  there.

COROT  (Jean  Baptiste  Camille).  1796-1875. 

Born  in  Paris  of  well-to-do  parents,  who  would  have  liked  to 
make  a  merchant  of  him.  Corot,  however,  preferred  to  accept 
a  scanty  income  and  the  pursuance  of  art.  On  the  return  of 
his  friend  Michallon  from  Rome,  Corot  went  to  him  for 
instruction,  and  later  studied  also  under  Victor  Bertin.  He 
passed  many  years  in  Italy,  making  an  infinite  number  of 
careful  studies  from  nature,  and  from  architectural  subjects, 
which  encouraged  in  him  the  love  of  the  classic.  "  Corot  is 
the  painter  of  air.  Everywhere  light  penetrates  without 
reminder  of  either  brush  or  pigment."  "He  assimilates  all 
he  sees  to  his  inward  dream,  .  .  .  striving  with  material  sub- 
stances to  express  the  impression  made  on  a  poetic  mind  by 
the  aspects  of  nature."

COSWAY  (Richard).  1731-1821. 

Born  in  Tiverton,  Devonshire,  England.  He  came  early  to 
London,  and  studied  under  Hudson  and  in  Shipley's  School 
of  Painting.  In  1766  he  was  made  a  Member  of  the  Incor- 
porated Society  of  Artists,  and  in  1770  an  Associate  of  the 
Royal  Academy.  He  became  especially  distinguished  as  a 
miniature  painter,  and  also  left  some  oil  paintings  "  of  great 
beauty  of  design  and  sweetness  of  expression."

COTES  (Sir  Francis),  R.A.  1726-1770. 

Born  in  London.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Royal 
Academy  and  a  Member  of  the  Incorporated  Society  of 
Artists.  He  devoted  himself  to  painting  portraits,  and 
enjoyed  great  popularity,  especially  after  his  good  fortune  in 
receiving  some  commissions  from  the  royal  family.  u  His 
strength  concentrated  itself  upon  his  heads,  the  draperies  in 
his  oil  paintings  being  generally  by  Peter  Toms,  so  well 
known  as  the  drapery  painter  to  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds."

COURBET  (Gustave).  1819-1877. 

Born  at  Ornans,  France.  He  was  destined  for  the  law  by  his 
father,  but  was  determined  to  be  an  artist,  and  sent  a  picture 
to  the  Salon  in  1844.  He  studied  more  or  less  under  Steuben 
and  Hesse,  but  painted  for  the  most  part  without  instruction. 
Eccentric  by  nature,  he  was  ambitious  to  revolutionize  the 
tastes  and  opinions  of  the  students  of  art,  and  establish  the 
supremacy  of  realism.  "He  is  the  strongest,  the  truest,  and 
most  satisfying  of  the  realists.  His  best  works  were  his  land- 
scapes. In  seeing  them,  one  is  sure  that  this  painter  had  a 
sentiment  and  love  of  the  beautiful  in  nature,  and  that  he 
did  himself  violence  when  he  affected  the  ugly  only.''

COUTURE  (Thomas).    18 15-1879. 

Born  at  Senlis,  France.  He  was  a  pupil  of  Gros  and  Dela- 
roche,  and  entered  the  Ecole  des  Beaux-Arts  in  1831.  In 
1837  he  took  the  second  prize  in  the  Concours  for  the  Prix  de 

[10] 


Rome,  and  ten  years  later  he  sent  to  the  Salon  his  famous  work, 
"  Les  Romains  de  la  Decadence,"  now  at  the  Gallery  of  the 
Luxembourg.  tc  This  painting  rises  above  the  particular  spec- 
tacle to  the  realization  of  the  collapse  of  a  mighty  empire.  .  .  . 
The  technical  treatment  portrays  the  influence  of  Veronese.  .  .  . 
It  is  brilliant  and  luminous  in  color,  and  of  a  certain  fierceness 
of  effect  which  comes  of  fiery  blood  and  strong  passions.  .  .  . 
Besides  many  portraits,  and  pictures  of  historical  and  classical 
subjects,  we  owe  to  him  the  decoration  of  the  Chapel  of  the 
Virgin  in  the  Church  of  St.  Eustache."  There  is  a  fine  sketch 
by  him  in  the  Museum  of  Fine  Arts  in  Boston,  "  Two  Vol- 
unteers of  the  French  Revolution." 

41     Portrait  of  Miss  Norcross. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Durand-Ruel,  New  York. 

CRIVELLI  (Carlo). 

An  Italian  painter  who  lived  at  the  end  of  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury. Two  large  and  sumptuous  altar-pieces  at  Ascoli,  dated 
1476,  show  him  nearly  in  the  full  exercise  of  his  power  at  that 
time.  "  With  an  exaggerated  vehemence  and  grimace  of 
type,  he  unites  occasionally  great  earnestness  and  dignity,  and 
an  Umbrian  grace  and  even  daintiness  of  expression.  ...  In 
his  best  works  he  approaches  the  fine  drawing  and  expression 
of  Mantegna,  with  a  gorgeousness  of  color  in  which  he  stands 
almost  alone."

CUYP  (Albert).  1606-1672. 

Born  at  Dortrecht,  Holland.  He  is  best  known  as  a  painter 
of  landscape,  and  portraits  by  him  are  rare, 
"  Cuyp  was  many-sided  in  his  art ;  and  ever  taking  nature  as 
his  guide  and  model,  he  escaped  all  reproach  of  mannerism. " 
His  conception  is  poetic  and  his  color  glowing,  and  in  some 
respects  he  much  resembles  Rembrandt.

DAGNAN-BOUVERET  (Pascal  Adolphe  Jean). 

Born  at  Paris,  and  was  a  pupil  of  Gerome.  He  received  a 
medal  of  the  third  class  at  the  Salon  of  1878,  in  1880  a  first- 
class  medal,  in  1885  the  Legion  of  Honor,  and  in  1889 
medals  of  honor  at  the  Salon  and  at  the  Paris  Exposition. 
"  M.  Dagnan-Bouveret  has  created  a  school  of  his  own,  in 
which  he  has  many  followers.  ...  He  is  free  from  academic 
conventionality  and  personal  affectations  of  technique.  His 
pictures  are  chiefly  of  figure  and  genre  subjects,  and  are 
soundly  and  brilliantly  painted."

DE  KEYSER  (Thomas). 

Born  in  Amsterdam  about  1595,  and  died  in  1679.  ^n 
the  Gallery  of  the  Hague  is  a  fine  picture  by  him,  represent- 
ing the  Four  Burgomasters  of  Amsterdam  deliberating  on  the 
honors  to  be  paid  to  Marie  de  Medicis  on  her  entrance  into 
that  city  in  1638.  The  heads  are  admirably  painted,  and 
with  a  richness  of  coloring  nearly  approaching  to  Rembrandt. 
The  Museum  at  Amsterdam  and  the  National  Gallery  in 
London  also  have  pictures  by  him.

and  allegorical  order,  .  .  .  extremely  delicate  in  treatment  and 
very  luminous."    Studio  in  New  York.

DURAN  (Carolus). 

Born  at  Lille  in  1838.  Chevalier  of  the  Legion  of  Honor 
and  the  Order  of  Leopold.  He  was  a  pupil  of  Souchon. 
In  1853  he  went  to  Paris,  and  spent  much  time  in  copy- 
ing again  and  again  "La  Gioconda "  at  the  Louvre.  In 
1 86 1  he  went  to  Rome,  and  in  1866  he  received  his  first 
medal  at  the  Salon.  He  is  best  known  as  a  painter  of  por- 
traits, which  are  distinguished  by  great  vigor  and  brilliancy. 
"  Behold  a  painter  to  whom  we  make  our  obeisances,  even 
when  we  ought  to  criticise.  .  .  .  No  one  can  deny  him  an 
astonishing  power  in  color,  an  incomparable  vigor  of  model- 
ling, a  marvellous  control  of  his  materials,  even  in  his  most 
dangerous  boldness."

GAINSBOROUGH  (Thomas),  R.A.  1727-1788. 

Born  at  Sudbury,  England.  He  went  to  London  in  his 
fifteenth  year,  and  studied  drawing  with  Gravelot,  an  engraver, 
and  also  at  the  St.  Martin's  Lane  Academy  and  with  Hayman. 
At  the  foundation  of  the  Royal  Academy  in  1768,  Gains- 
borough was  one  of  the  original  thirty-six  members.  He 
was  one  of  the  best  of  the  early  English  painters  in  landscape, 
and  portraiture  as  well.  Ruskin  calls  him  "  the  purest  color- 
ist  of  the  English  school,"  and  again,  in  speaking  of  his  tech- 
nique, he  says,  "  Turner  is  a  child  to  him."  His  forms  are 
grand,  simple,  and  ideal.

GAY  (Walter). 

Born  in  Hingham,  Mass.  In  1876  he  went  to  Paris  and 
studied  with  Bonnat,  since  which  time  he  has  devoted  him- 
self almost  entirely  to  figure  subjects.  At  the  Salon  of 
1885  he  received  Honorable  Mention,  and  has  been  awarded 
medals  in  France,  Belgium,  Germany,  and  Austria.  His 
best  known  pictures  are  genre  subjects,  and  especially  from 
Spanish  motives.  He  is  a  Member  of  the  Society  of  Ameri- 
can Artists,  and  received  the  Legion  of  Honor  in  Paris 
in  1894.

GREUZE  (Jean  Baptiste).  1725-1805. 

Born  at  Tournus,  in  Burgundy,  France.  He  was  a  pupil  of 
Grandon  at  Lyons,  and  afterward  studied  at  the  Academy 

[15] 


of  Fine  Arts  in  Paris  and  in  Rome.  He  was  elected  Associate 
of  the  Academy  in  Paris  in  1755,  anc*  a  full  Member  in  1769. 
"  His  success  as  a  genre  and  portrait  painter  was  enormous, 
his  simple  style  coming  as  a  relief  from  the  graceful  artificiali- 
ties of  Boucher  and  Fragonard."

HARDING  (Chester).  1792-1866.

England,  he  painted  portraits  of  many  persons  of  distinction, 
among  them  members  of  the  royal  family.

HENNER  (Jean  Jacques). 

Born  in  Bernwiller,  Alsace,  in  1829,  and  was  a  pupil  of 
Drolling  and  Picot.  In  1858  he  took  the  Prix  de  Rome, 
and  became  a  Chevalier  of  the  Legion  of  Honor  in  1873. 
He  was  a  constant  exhibitor  at  the  Salon,  chiefly  of  idyllic 
subjects,  and  received  many  medals.  "  No  painter  since 
Titian  and  Correggio  has  succeeded  in  securing,  in  the  rendi- 

[16] 


tion  of  the  nude,  such  charm  of  color  and  purity  of  expres- 
sion, and  he  was  not  long  in  creating  a  unique  place  for  him- 
self in  his  art."  His  c  Susanna '  now  hangs  in  the  Gallery 
of  the  Luxembourg.

HOGARTH  (William).  1697-1764. 

Born  in  London,  and  was  early  apprenticed  to  a  silversmith, 
and  later  became  an  engraver  of  Coats-of-Arms,  shop  bills, 
etc.,  and  finally  engravings  for  books.  He  also  studied  in 
the  Academy  in  St.  Martin's  Lane.  A  firm  believer  in  the 
truthful  delineation  of  life,  his  belief  found  expression  in 
a  series  of  satirical  pictures,  reflecting  on  the  social  abuses  of 
his  time.  "  Hogarth  created  his  art,  and  used  colors  instead 
of  language.  .  .  .  He  could  not  bend  his  talents  to  think  after 
any  one  else.  ...  It  was  character,  the  passions,  and  the  soul, 
that  his  genius  was  given  him  to  copy."

HOPPNER  (John),  R.A.    1758-18 10. 

Born  in  London.  Under  the  patronage  of  the  king,  he  be- 
came one  of  the  choristers  of  the  Royal  Chapel,  and  in  his 
leisure  time  studied  art  at  the  Royal  Academy.  He  was  made 
portrait  painter  to  the  Prince  of  Wales  before  he  was  thirty 
years  old,  and  in  1795  he  became  an  Academician.    "  He  was 

[>7] 


a  painter  of  a  fine  ripe  style  of  color  and  a  ready  grasp  of 
character."  His  portraits  of  women  and  children  show  him  at 
his  best,  but  he  has  left  some  male  portraits  of  much  force.

HUNT  (William  Morris),    i 824-1 879. 

Born  at  Brattleboro,  Vt.  He  left  Harvard  College  to  study 
art  in  Europe,  and  entered  the  Academy  at  Dusseldorf,  with 
the  intention  of  becoming  a  sculptor.  "  Although  he  aban- 
doned this  idea  in  order  to  go  to  Paris  and  become  a  pupil  of 
Couture  in  painting,  his  feeling  all  through  his  life  was  rather 
for  mass  than  line."  He  also  worked  with  Millet  at  Barbizon, 
by  whom  he  was  much  influenced.  For  more  than  three 
years  he  contributed  to  the  exhibitions  at  Paris,  finally  re- 
turning to  Boston,  where  he  gathered  about  him  a  large  num- 
ber of  students.  "  Few  of  our  men  ever  had  so  strong  a  fol- 
lowing, or  left  so  indelible  an  imprint  on  the  art  of  their  time.,, 
"  The  genius  of  Hunt  is  eminently  creative.  .  .  .  Whether 
dealing  with  the  animated  expressions  of  real  life  or  the  naive 
phases  of  nature  or  the  simple  expression  of  character,  there 

[18] 


is  a  truth,  grace,  and  power  in  his  work  that  instantly  reveal 
the  original  artistic  genius."

an  agreeable  execution."

Carlo  Maratti  and  Bernini.  On  his  return  from  Italy  in  1674 
he  was  induced  to  try  his  fortune  in  London,  where  he  soon 
acquired  an  unrivalled  reputation  as  a  portrait  painter.

whom  he  did  not  paint,"  among  them  Peter  the  Great  of 
Russia  and  Charles  VI.  of  Spain.

Born  in  Bristol,  England,  and  as  a  boy  of  ten  began  to  earn 
money  by  drawing  crayon  portraits.  In  time  he  became  a 
favorite  of  George  III.,  who  commissioned  him  to  paint  the 
queen  and  the  Princess  Augusta,  which  aroused  a  fashionable 
demand  for  his  portraits.  In  18 15  he  was  knighted,  and  in 
1820  he  succeeded  Benjamin  West  as  president  of  the  Royal 
Academy.  Lawrence's  pupil,  William  Etty,  wrote  of  him 
that  "his  execution  was  perfect,  playful  yet  precise,  elegant  yet 
free."  He  has  been  especially  happy  in  painting  groups  of 
mothers  and  children.

LE  BRUN  (Charles). 

A  French  historical  painter.  He  was  born  in  Paris  in  16 19, 
and  received  his  first  instruction  from  his  father.  At  the 
age  of  eleven  he  was  placed  in  the  studio  of  Voust,  where  he 
made  remarkable  progress.  He  attracted  the  notice  of  Pous- 
sin,  and  accompanied  him  to  Italy  in  1642,  where  he  studied 
and  painted  for  about  four  years.  On  his  return  to  Paris, 
orders  quickly  flowed  in  upon  him,  and  by  the  patronage  of 
Louis  XIV.  he  became  the  head  of  the  French  School  of 
Painting.  He  was  one  of  the  chief  founders  of  the  Academie 
in  1648,  and  was  also  instrumental  in  establishing  the  French 
School  at  Rome.  He  was  the  first  director  of  the  Royal 
Manufactory  of  the  Gobelin  tapestries.  Although  his  work 
was  chiefly  historical  and  decorative  painting,  he  also  painted 
some  portraits.

held  his  own  during  the  Protectorate  under  Cromwell,  whose 
portrait  he  painted.  "  His  portraits,  though  slight  and  some- 
what mannered,  are  pleasing  and  well  drawn."

MANET  (Edouard). 

Born  at  Paris  in  1833.  After  visiting  Italy  and  Holland,  he 
entered  the  studio  of  Couture,  where  he  remained  six  years. 
For  several  years  his  work  was  refused  at  the  Salon,  and  at 
length,  in  1867,  he  made  an  exhibition  of  his  own  works  alone, 
thus  introducing  himself  to  the  public,  by  which  he  was  much 
criticised  and  much  praised.  Manet  is  an  etcher  as  well  as  a 
painter.  'c  M.  Manet,  who  is  well  known  to  American  lovers 
of  art  as  the  leader  of  the  new  school  of  painters  and  the 
illustrator  of  Poe's  c  Raven,'  exhibits  this  year  two  pictures, 
one  at  the  Salon  and  the  other  on  the  street.  ...  In  the 
picture  on  the  Boulevard  he  shows  his  appreciation  of  grace 
and  elegance,  in  that  of  the  Salon  that  he  is  the  strong 
master  of  a  noble  style.    June,  1877."

Born  in  Delft,  Holland,  and  was  the  son  of  a  silversmith. 
His  first  work  of  importance  was  a  series  of  altar-pieces  in 
Utrecht,  but  he  became  so  successful  in  portrait  painting  that 

[24]

he  decided  to  make  that  his  profession.  "  With  a  simple  and 
truthful  feeling  for  his  subject  he  combined  clear  and  often 
warm  coloring.  Fine  examples  of  his  art  are  in  the  Louvre, 
in  the  Dresden,  Munich,  and  Amsterdam  Galleries,  and  also 
at  Delft."

MILLAIS  (Sir  John  Everett),  R.A.    1 829-1 895. 

Born  at  Southampton,  England,  his  early  boyhood  was  spent 
in  France  and  among  the  Channel  Islands,  where  he  showed 
remarkable  talent  in  sketching  from  nature.  He  studied  at 
the  Royal  Academy,  and  in  1847  received  a  gold  medal,  and 
was  commissioned  to  assist  in  the  decoration  of  the  Houses 
of  Parliament.  Millais  was  at  one  time  associated  with  the 
Pre-Raphaelite  School,  but  found  himself  hampered  by  some 
of  its  tenets,  and  finally  created  a  style  of  his  own,  "  keeping 
only  what  was  best  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite  influences."  He 
became  an  Associate  of  the  Royal  Academy  in  1854,  a  Mem- 
ber in  1863,  and  a  Baronet  in  1885.  In  France  he  was 
made  a  Member  of  the  Institute,  an  officer  of  the  Legion  of 
Honor,  and  a  Medalist  of  Honor.  "Equally  powerful  in 
portraiture,  composition,  and  landscape,  Millais  is  one  of  the 
most  versatile  and  productive  of  the  many  great  artists  of  our 
time  whose  pencils  have  also  been  employed  in  elevating  illus- 
trative literature  to  the  level  of  high  art."

(in  1 604)  as  a  young  artist,  a  pupil  of  Mierevelt,  "  possessing 
mastery  in  portraits."  The  Museums  of  the  Hague,  Rotter- 
dam, and  Amsterdam,  contain  portraits  by  him.  There  is  also 
a  fine  one  at  the  Berlin  Museum.

NATOIRE  (Charles  Joseph).  1700-1777. 

Born  at  Nimes,  France,  and  was  instructed  by  Louis  Gal- 
loche  and  Lemoine.  In  1721  he  took  the  Prix  de  Rome  at 
the  Beaux- Arts  by  his  picture  entitled  "The  Mother  of 
Samson  offering  a  Sacrifice  to  God,"  this  being  the  oldest  of 
the  competition  pictures  preserved  in  the  Academie  des  Beaux-

which  were  for  the  decoration  of  churches,  royal  apartments, 
etc.

harmonious,  expressive,  and  beautiful  phases."

Ramsay,  he  was  made  painter  to  the  king. 
£tIn  all  his  works  we  note  great  power, —  a  rare  beauty  of 
background,  and,  above  all,  a  warmth  and  richness  of  color 
which  was  his  greatest  characteristic."

ROMNEY  (George).    1 734-1 802. 

Born  in  Lancashire,  England.  He  early  began  to  paint,  and 
at  the  age  of  nineteen  was  apprenticed  to  a  wandering  portrait 
painter  named  Steele.  In  1762  he  settled  in  London  as  a 
painter  of  portraits  and  historical  subjects,  and  divided  popu- 
lar favor  with  Reynolds  and  Gainsborough.  Unhappy  do- 
mestic affairs  imbittered  his  life,  and  were  the  means  of 
preventing  his  becoming  an  Academician,  though  Reynolds 
himself  would  have  advocated  his  election,  had  he  conde- 
scended to  stand  for  it.  His  method  of  painting  was  simple 
and  solid,  and  his  color  warm  and  agreeable.

RUBENS  (Peter  Paul).    1 577-1 640. 

Born  in  Siegen,  Westphalia,  Germany.  To  his  education  in 
the  Jesuit  School  of  Antwerp,  Rubens  owed  his  classical  train- 
ing, while  his  teachers  in  art  were  Van  Noort,  Tobie  Verhaegt, 
and  later  Otto  Vaenius.  In  1597  he  was  so  advanced  as  to 
be  admitted  into  the  Guild  of  Painters  at  Antwerp,  and  in 
1600  he  went  to  Italy.  On  his  return  to  Antwerp  in  1608 
he  attracted  a  large  number  of  scholars,  some  of  whom  he 
employed  as  assistants  in  his  work,  among  them  Van  Dyck 
and  Jordaens.  Rubens  possessed  "  a  truthful  and  intense 
feeling  for  nature,  a  warm  and  transparent  coloring,  .  .  .  and  a 
wealth  and  fire  of  imagination  which  embraced  every  object 
capable  of  representation," — historical  and  sacred  subjects,  por- 
traits, and  landscapes.  His  celebrated  altar-piece,  tc  The  De- 
scent from  the  Cross,"  in  Antwerp,  "  represents  the  highest 
excellence  attained  by  the  master  in  ecclesiastical  art."  Of

SARGENT  (John  S.),  R.A. 

Born  in  Florence,  Italy,  in  1856,  and  most  of  his  profes- 
sional life  has  been  passed  in  Europe.  He  studied  in  Paris 
with  Carolus  Duran,  and  exhibited  in  the  Salon,  as  well  as 
with  the  Society  of  American  Artists  in  New  York,  as  early  as 
1878.  From  Paris,  Sargent  went  to  Madrid,  especially  to 
study  the  work  of  Velasquez,  and  on  his  return  to  Paris  he 
opened  a  studio,  painting  portraits  and  "  making  excursions 
into  many  other  fields  of  art."  He  has  finally  established 
himself  permanently  in  London,  since  which  "  there  has  been 
no  break  in  a  progress  that  has  brought  him  into  the  inner- 
most sanctuary  of  British  Art."  He  was  made  a  Member  of 
the  Royal  Academy  in  1897,  as  wen"  as  °f  tne  National 
Academy  in  New  York,  and  the  Society  of  American  Artists.

ciate of  the  Royal  Academy  since  1897.

SNYDERS  (Frans).  1579-1654. 

Born  at  Antwerp,  Belgium.  He  was  registered  in  the  Ant- 
werp Guild  as  Hell  Breughel's  apprentice  in  1592,  and  rose 
to  the  Mastership  in  1602.  u  His  developed  form  of  art, 
his  clear  and  frequently  glowing  coloring,  and  his  broad  and 
masterly  touch  were  inspired  by  the  example  of  Rubens, 
to  whom  he  stood,  not  in  the  relation  of  a  scholar,  but  in  that 
of  a  thoroughly  independent  fellow-painter.  .  .  .  Next  to 
Rubens,  he  is  the  greatest  animal  painter  of  his  time,  and 
like  him,  he  has  the  faculty  of  depicting  his  subjects  in  the 
agitated  moments  of  combat  or  chase.  .  .  .  His  fame  was  so 
great  that  princes  and  nobles  vied  with  each  other  for  his 
pictures."

STUART  (Charles  Gilbert),    i 756-1 828. 

Born  in  Narragansett,  R.I.  Cosmo  Alexander,  a  Scotch 
artist,  gave  Stuart  his  first  lessons  in  art  in  1770,  and  on  his 
return  to  Scotland  shortly  afterward  he  took  the  young 
artist  with  him.  The  portraits  which  Stuart  exhibited  at  the 
Royal  Academy  in  178 1,  on  his  second  visit  to  London, 
brought  him  many  orders  from  distinguished  people,  and  his 
success  became  thus  assured.  At  this  time  he  painted  por- 
traits of  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds  and  Charles  Kemble,  and  also 
a  full-length  portrait  of  Benjamin  West. 

Stuart  studied  human  nature  with  as  much  zeal  as  he  studied 
art,  and  Allston  said  of  him  that  he  could  "  thoroughly  dis- 
tinguish the  accidental  from  the  permanent."  His  early  work 
was  delicate,  pure,  and  very  effective.  Some  of  his  later 
portraits  have  the  paint  laid  on  thicker  and  are  full  of  power, 
but  less  interesting.

work  he  was  far  from  imitating.

a  painter  of  the  ideal.  "  His  talent  is  one  of  delicate  sug- 
gestiveness, .  .  .  dainty,  tender,  and  serene."  He  is  a  Member 
of  the  Society  of  Artists  and  an  Associate  of  the  Academy.

and  at  the  age  of  nineteen  he  entered  the  army.  In  1780 
Colonel  Trumbull  visited  France,  and  thence  went  to  London 
and  studied  with  West,  but  while  quietly  pursuing  his  studies, 
he  was  arrested  as  a  spy,  and  his  life  was  only  spared  at  the 
interposition  of  West.  The  rest  of  his  life  was  largely  spent 
in  painting  portraits  of  heroes  of  the  Revolution,  and  also 
four  elaborate  historical  subjects  for  the  panels  of  the  Rotunda 
in  the  Capitol  at  Washington,  and  other  pictures  of  similar 
interest.  "  The  most  spirited  portrait  of  Washington  that 
exists  —  the  only  reflection  of  him  as  a  soldier  of  freedom  in 
his  mature  years  —  is  Trumbull's. "  "Trumbull  left  no 
marvels  of  beauty,  no  wonderful  reflections  of  nature,  but  he 
transferred  to  canvas  the  features  of  those  extraordinary  men 
whose  wisdom  and  valor  guided  to  a  triumphant  issue  the 
struggles  of  an  oppressed  people."

Mrs.  Clinton  was  the  daughter  of  Franklin,  and  as  a  child 
was  known  as  "  Washington's  Pet."    She  was  the  mother 
of  the  Clintons  who  have  been  distinguished  in  the  history 
of  New  York.

Van  der  HELST  (Bartholomew),    i 6 13-1670. 

Born  at  Amsterdam,  Holland.  Van  der  Heist  was  by  far  the 
most  renowned  of  the  Dutch  portrait  painters  of  his  time. 
He  probably  formed  his  style  after  that  of  Franz  Hals. 
"  His  arrangement  of  portrait  pieces  with  numerous  figures  is 
very  artistic  and  easy.  ...  His  prevailing  warm  brownish 
tones  finely  graduated."  In  his  later  periods  his  color  became 
much  cooler.  A  scene  from  the  Archery  Guild  of  Amster- 
dam, including  thirty  figures,  is  one  of  his  best  known  works. 
Most  of  his  work  is  to  be  seen  in  Amsterdam.

Van  ORLEY  (Bernard). 

Born  about  1493.  One  of  an  important  artistic  family  of 
Brussels.  He  studied  in  the  school  of  Raphael,  and  became 
a  favorite  of  his  master.  Later  he  was  appointed  painter  to 
Margaret  of  Austria,  Governess  of  the  Netherlands.  Ber- 
nard married  first,  Agnes  Seghers,  by  whom  he  had  seven 
children,  and  second,  Catherine  Hellincky,  who  bore  him  two. 
His  pictures,  which  are  noted  for  their  beautiful  Flemish 
colors,  may  be  seen  in  Antwerp,  Brussels,  Dresden,  London, 
Madrid,  Vienna,  Paris,  St.  Petersburg,  and  Rotterdam.  The 
Lichtenstein  collection  contains  two  of  his  pictures.

Van  RAVESTIJN  (Jan). 

A  Dutch  painter  who  was  born  about  1575,  and  died  at  the 
Hague  in  1657.  Among  the  works  of  this  artist  are  several 
fine  portraits  and  four  large  and  very  interesting  pictures  of 
local  historical  subjects.  These  works  are  characterized  as 
being  "  full  of  grave  harmony,  and  more  powerful  than  Van 
der  Heist."  These  are  "  The  Civic  Guard  issuing  from  the 
Doelen,"  "The  Banquet  of  the  Town  Council,"  "A  Meeting 

[40] 


of  the  Town  Council/'  and  "  Officers  of  the  City  Guard,"  all 
at  the  Hague.

Van  THULDEN  (Theodoor). 

Born  at  Bois-le-Duc,  France,  about  1607.  He  lived  and 
studied  in  Antwerp  and  Paris,  and  died  at  Bois-le-Duc  in 
1676.  "He  was  versatile  in  talent,  and  had  much  skill  in 
composition.  ...  In  his  earlier  works  he  approaches  Rubens, 
both  in  his  broad  delineation  of  forms,  and  in  his  coloring."

Van  VLIET  (Willem).  1584-1642. 

His  works  are  rare,  and  little  is  known  of  his  life,  but  his 
countryman  Weyerman  tells  us  that  "  he  wielded  a  facile 
brush/'  also  that  he  began  by  painting  historical  subjects, 
and  later  took  up  portraiture.  The  National  Gallery, 
London,  the  Brussels  Museum,  and  the  Lichtenstein  Gallery 
contain  works  by  him. 

62     Portrait  of  a  Lady. 

Lent  by  Mr.  Durand-Ruel,  New  York. 

VERONESE  (Paolo).  1500-1588. 

Is  said  to  have  been  instructed  by  his  father  and  by  his  uncle, 
Antonio  Badile.  Veronese's  great  reputation  chiefly  rests 
upon  his  representations  of  festive  subjects,  magnificent  ar- 
chitecture, gold  and  silver  vases,  and   brilliant  costumes. 

[4i] 


"  Never  was  the  pomp  of  color  so  exalted  as  in  Veronese's 
works."  He  has  left  but  few  portraits,  but  those  are  of  great 
merit.

Von  LENBACH  (Franz). 

He  was  born  in  Schrobenhausen,  Bavaria,  in  1836.  He 
studied  at  the  Munich  Academy,  and  with  Piloty,  who  took 
him  to  Rome  with  him  in  1858.  In  i860  he  was  made 
professor  in  the  Weimar  Art  School,  and  on  his  return  to 
Munich  he  devoted  himself  entirely  to  portraiture  until 
1872,  when  he  went  to  Vienna  and  Morocco,  and  finally  to 
Egypt,  spending  the  winter  there  with  Markart  and  Leopold 
Miller.  He  became  a  Member  of  the  Berlin  Academy  in 
1883,  having  received  in  1867  a  medal  of  the  third  class  in 
Paris.  cc  The  man  who  calls  himself  Lenbach  is  a  personality, 
a  man  of  the  first  rank."

MALBONE  (Edward  Greene). 

Born  in  Newport,  R.I.,  in  1777.  He  early  gave  evidence 
of  remarkable  artistic  gifts,  and  by  the  time  he  was  seventeen 
we  find  him  at  work  as  a  professional  miniature  painter.  He 
was  a  friend  of  Allston,  and  travelled  with  him  both  in  this 
country  and  England,  devoting  himself  to  his  art.  "  He  had 
an  acute  discernment  of  character,  and  what  is  remarkable, 
considering  his  limited  instruction,  knew  how  to  draw  with 
absolute  correctness.  His  best  miniatures  are  preferred  by 
many  artists  to  Isabey's."  Few  works  of  art  of  the  kind 
have  enjoyed  so  wide  a  reputation  as  Malbone's  "  Hours." 
He  died  at  Savannah  in  1807.

De  SAINT  MEMIN  (Charles  Balthazar  Julien  Fevret). 

Landed  in  Canada  from  Switzerland  in  1793,  and  afterward 
lived  in  New  York  and  Philadelphia,  where  he  constructed 
a  machine  for  making  profiles  with  mathematical  accuracy, 
from  his  memory  of  Gueneday's  physionotrace.  These 
profiles  were  first  drawn  life-size,  and  then  reduced  by  the 
pantograph  to  that  required  for  the  plate,  producing,  when 
finished,  the  effect  of  fine  engravings.  By  means  of  his 
ingenious  process  M.  de  Saint  Memin  executed  about  eight 
hundred  portraits,  and  among  them  many  distinguished 
people,  such  as  Washington,  Jefferson,  Madison,  and  many 
of  the  beautiful  women  of  the  day.

STAIGG  (Richard  M.).  1820-1881. 

Born  in  Leeds,  England,  and  came  to  America  as  a  youth, 
He  began  the  practice  of  art  at  Newport,  R.I.,  as  a  miniature 
painter,  receiving  encouragement  and  valuable  assistance  from 

[49] 


Washington  Allston.  He  was  elected  a  Member  of  the 
National  Academy,  New  York,  in  1861,  and  was  a  Member  of 
the  Boston  Art  Club.  He  went  to  Paris  in  1867  for  two  years, 
and  exhibited  some  portraits  in  oils  at  the  Salon  of  1868. 
"  Staigg  has  painted  several  remarkable  portraits,  wherein  the 
character  and  tone  are  masterly,  and  the  skill  exhibited  as 
delicate  as  it  is  truthful.  He  has  a  fine  feeling  and  delicate 
insight.  There  is  nothing  crude  or  exaggerated  in  his  style, 
and  he  comprehends  the  refinements  of  his  art,  of  which  his 
ideal  is  exalted,  and  to  which  his  devotion  has  been  single 
and  earnest."
